Hmmm okay, thx for update. That all sounds strange and a huge fail. What I think’s. odd is if these were large buses, they have large tanks on them for driving cross country and can go for hundreds of miles but they’re running out of gas doing shuttle runs? Not to mention all the local stations are out of diesel? Very weird.

This is the latest update I could find. There appears to be a continuing referral from one authority to another with the Trump organization not replying at all to requests for statements.
What I could find in this article is that for safety purpose, bus drivers in California are limited to the length of time their shifts can last so that they are bright and aware while driving and not sluggish from fatigue. So those time limits had been reached and the could no longer legally drive their rigs.
This as well as the locally located refueling stations for buses had run out of gasoline and the drivers were having to drive for half an hour away to refuel and then return again.
As the county had issued a permit for 15000 attendees it appears that even if the 100000 that Trump claimed were in attendance was over stated the crow size was more than anticipated. Though California is considered a wacko blue state, that region, Orange and Riverside Counties have been and still are for almost a century, staunchly conservative electing representatives to state and federal offices who skew to the right of people like Nixon, Reagan and Goldwater. So I guess it shouldn't be a surprise that a Trump rally in that area would draw some really great crowds.

This is the last straw for me. A Facebook friend's old coworker's uncle was one of the people left to die outside this event. Trump doesn't care about his voters and he can't keep getting away with it!
My entire family has voted Republican since the civil war, but we're all voting Democrat in 2024.
Lol
I came to feast upon the coping and seething in this thread.
Alas, though a glutton I may be... I am satisfied.
Were there any survivors of this humanitarian crisis? I know it's always dangerous and irresponsible when masses of people are encouraged to converge where they have no food or water and have no transportion to leave.
Only incredibly irresponsible people do things like that, no?
they all died. Alone in the desert. together.
sorry i get a little carried away sometimes.

From top to bottom. First, he does a rally in California? Why?. Then the choice to do it in a remote location with limited and arduous access?
Yeah, one of my ex’s used to have a condo in Palm Springs so I’m fairly familiar with the area. Done a lot of four wheeling out there, it can get remote in some desert areas around there but I wouldn’t call Coachella one of them.

Also, they keep going on about how "remote"it was.
It was a few miles out of town in a region inhabited by over 50,000 people.
Remote my ass
